I just downloaded the latest version of the mini-KDE iso, the partitioner worked and everything installed just great......

....but typically, when I try to start something, I get the bouncing cursor graphic for a LONG time, then nothing.... the I try to start the same thing again and it opens as it should, as if the first time, it misfired.

I've seen this with Firefox, Tasty, things in Wine, OpenOffice.... practically everything I try to start, the first time is a miss, the second time works.
